Explore.org: Blue Cavern Aquarium (Aquarium of the Pacific)

This underwater aquarium camera at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California is known as the Blue Cavern.

This one-of-a-kind exhibit is a massive, three-story high tank that is modeled after the underwater ecosystem of Catalina Island off the coast of Southern California. Keep an eye out for leopard sharks, sheepshead, giant sea bass, moray eels, and, of course, giant kelp!

Live Diver Viewing
12:45 pm – Tuesday, Thursday, & Saturday

Watch as our divers hand-feed fish in this exhibit. Note: sound will not be available during the feedings. The feed stations are:

Sheephead & Ocean Whitefish – By the big rock right in front of the camera.

Sardines – When the sheephead feed is finished, this will also occur by the big rock in front of the camera. Feedings can be intermittent.

Leopard Sharks – Left side of live camera.

Giant Sea Bass – In the far rear corner; might be difficult to view.

Moray Eels – Depends where they are in the exhibit at any given time.
